2-Aminopropanol → 2,2'-iminodipropanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Platinum dioxide (800 mg) was added to a solution of dl-2-amino-1-propanol (100 g) and hydroxyacetone (115 g) in methanol (1100 mL). The reaction mixture was hydrogenated at 60 psi for 20 hours, after which time, the catalyst was filtered off and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford crude 2,2′-iminodipropan-1-ol.
